IRVING, Texas--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--NEC Corporation of America (NEC)
announced today that its industry leading biometrics division, widely
known for its award-winning suite of facial, fingerprint, palm print and
multi-modal biometrics identification solutions, has rebranded to
reflect its expanding market offerings. The rebranded division, NEC
Advanced Recognition Systems, was formerly known as NEC Biometrics
Solutions.

“We are committed to understanding our
clients’ challenges first, and assist them with a full solution
implementation in comparison to any specific biometric technology or
tool”

The global market for biometric technology, now estimated to exceed $20
billion (USD) over the coming decade, points to continued proliferation
of biometrics technology beyond government and public sectors to
airports, critical infrastructure, entertainment, malls, stadiums,
hospitality, financial services and retail markets. Such applications
demand convergence of identity with access management and solutions that
offer secure, frictionless access, provide more positive experiences,
shorter lines and improved utilization of resources. Increased analytics
can also provide tools for better forecasting and planning and can turn
the focus from crime solving to crime prevention.

NEC’s Advanced
Recognition Systems’ primary mission is to serve citizens and the
people who protect them. Whether keeping the public safe at home,
supporting troops overseas, improving the experience of travelers, or
providing the right identity at the right time, our industry leading
recognition solutions supply trusted intelligence to help build safer
and brighter communities.

To meet the demands of this new market, NEC will rely on its local and
global systems integration experience, in-house technology and key
third-party partnerships. “We are committed to understanding our
clients’ challenges first, and assist them with a full solution
implementation in comparison to any specific biometric technology or
tool,” concluded Beroukhim.
